COMPANION PASS!!!

like

Companion pass only works if you fly out of the same location as the other person. Since we travel all the time my SO usually flies out to wherever I am since I use alt travel to get to the other location etc, so companion pass is quite useless for traveling consultants

What I don’t like about it is that it is open seating. Even if you’re A1, if you aren’t at the gate when the doors open 30 minutes before takeoff you’re going to get a garbage seat. Really it’s just drink tickets that are nice

Southwest offers the highest yield for domestic travel. If you don't care about international or first class, it's worth considering. If you fly a ton, companion pass is the most valuable benefit that exists.

Last year SWA was my only direct choice. I got used to it, but not my preference. You do get free TV without status and free WiFi with status. Nice perks. I did enjoy watching Morning Joe on Monday’s

@BCG1 see my point above. If I’m alt traveling to a location and my SO is flying from their home city companion pass is useless. Why would I fly home then to the other location just to use companion pass?

DD1, that's why you quit consulting right after you get it. Very valuable then

DD1 that and you can use it whenever...not just on the tail end of a travel week. Used if over holidays, bench time, etc. Plus earnings win a list preferred are outrageous. That being said I keep status with both Delta and SW

SW still biggest yield for domestic. Also, if SO is lying to your client location, isn't that just alt travel?

SW great cancellation fees and no rebooking fees if you oops.

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

When you look at all these stupid ideas trying ICO, it definitely feels like dot com bubble 2 is approaching. I still think a bulk of investment is going to more legit ideas, but a lot of alt coins are gaining higher valuations. When do you think we will hit the burst? End of 2018?

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?
